Speaking of xDSL, does anyone on the list happen to have a good
understanding of how much per-packet overhead there is on VDSL2? I've
been tweaking the buffering and shaping on my upstream link and noticed
unexpected behavior with small packets.

The link below (use wayback machine version) has a good description of
per-packet overhead for various forms of ADSL but I haven't found
something similar for more modern DSL variants.

I started a discussion on DSLReports

but experimentally the overhead discussed there doesn't appear to be
correct
